"One of the most healing thing you can do is recognize where in your life you are your own poison," Dr. Maraboli once said in his speech. It’s seem very easy to judge others, their faults, their lacking. But our judgemental mind sometimes can not be able to judge and discover ourselves. We all have weaknesses and it’s okay. But all we have to do is to know our weakness and make it into our strength.
Identifying Your Mistakes:
"To find yourself, think for yourself," was one of the biggest mottos that Socrates tried to make people understand. This is the first step to know your weakness. And to know your weakness you need to know about yourself, your lackings especially. You need to think about your failures. Just think why you were unsuccessful in your last project. At my case, one of my biggest weaknesses is negligence. I couldn’t finish any work at time because of my negligence. I used to finish my work somehow but not properly. As a result, I didn’t get the expected result. Than my continuous failure in works,studies;when I thought about my case again and again I understood how negligent I was and how successfully I wasted my time. I am still trying to overcome it and by the grace of Almighty I have been able to overcome a lot.So just recognize and accept your mistakes.
Embrace your flaws and turn them to your strengths:
Don’t deny your weaknesses. Remember strength is not always about capability,it’s about the attitude of overcoming your challenges. So challenge yourself. Change the attitude of your thoughts regarding your weakness that you may overestimate. Every weakness has a strength at the opposite. If you are arrogant,then try ti be modest.If you are unrealistic,then be visionary. And if you are negligent like me, then be dutiful towards your work. So, as you can see there is always positive against the negative.
"We have to dare to be ourselves,however frightening or that self may prove to be"-May Sarton
Get advice from the reliable one:
"Be careful whom you are telling your weakness. Because some people cannot wait the opportunity to use it against you."
It’s always better to have a third eye. But you need to be careful while sharing your weakness to the other person. Because it is possible to diminish you once anyone knows your weakness as this is the part where you can be attacked and blown away. But you need to get advice from the trustworthy one and that will help you to overcome your weakness and to know about your present position.
Change the attitude of I wish:
You have no control of what you were born with but you have the power to perform it. If you keep thinking all the time that if you were skilled at something or good at something, then it would simple waste of time. Instead of thinking this, think how well you can perform with what you have got.
Michael Springer said,"Sometimes biggest strength can be found in how you confront and understand your weakness."It simply is a matter of attitude. Change your attitude and turn your “I wish” to “I am”. Remember sometimes we are tested by God not show our weaknesses, but to discover our strengths. So, our weaknesses can be the way to get our strengths. Give a new beginning.
Team up with your mentor:
You can find someone who is good at that, can do this, can even do everything. Sometimes our weakness is addressed by someone who is already good at every task and teamed up with them. In my university life I have seen two types of people. The one who is busy to make followers and the other one is to make leaders.As Steve Jobs said,“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower”.Leaders instill in their people a hope for success and a belief in themselves. Positive leaders empower people to accomplish their goals. Don’t be a follower. Just find a monitor in your weakness. Team up,observe,learn from them.
“I learned to be with myself rather than avoiding myself with limiting habits; I started to be aware of my feelings more, rather than numb them.” — Judith Wright.
Human being is not bestowed with weakness, but they do have weaknesses and they must overcome it.“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”—Arnold Schwarzenegger.
So evolve yourself by turning weakness into strength.Your weakness is your weakness when you can not turn it into your strength.
